Martinstown village notices

I would just like to introduce PC 1316 Jim Long who is now the new Rural Neighbourhood Police Officer.

He will be looking after Rural West and Rural East of Dorchester so does have a large area to cover but does hope to get out and about to meet you all at some time or another.

Jim used to be the Dorchester Town Neighbourhood Police Officer so is not new to the role just the area and he is also our Wildlife Officer so fits in nicely with him being out and about in the rural villages.

You still have myself PCSO 5410 Sarah Pilcher and PCSO 6534 Jane Goodwin along with our Neighbourhood Sergeant 1824 Ged Want for the foreseeable but we do have 3 new PCSO’s starting their training beginning of December. Some of these will take the place of PCSO’s moving on to become PC’s so there may be a re shuffle in areas in the New year but for now please don’t hesitate to contact us above should you need any help or advice regarding Police matters.

Although papers can be separated and recycled with the bi-weekly refuse collection this scheme means that the local parish can financially benefit from separate treatment of newspapers.

There are two collection points each located at the Parish Office and the car park of the Village Hall by means of a green bin or box.

Your used newspapers and magazines can be bundled into manageable piles and securely tied with sturdy string. Newspapers and magazines should be bundled separately but can be placed in the same boxes and are regularly collected.

Please use this method of recycling where possible as credit is received via the current scheme to the parish for use towards local matters.
